January 12th-Church Survey Discussion Guide

January 9th, 2025

January 12th

At the start of every year, we encourage everyone in our church to take this survey. We don't want this to simply be boxes you check and then not think about it again, especially if your answer was "no" to any of the questions. This survey is evaluating our people's commitment to the discipleship pathway. As Dave mentioned in his joy sermon (watch here), the discipleship pathway is vital to our body and our mission. The Discipleship Pathway is our way of keeping us on track in our journey of becoming more like Christ and being His disciples to our lost and broken world. Remember this is something we want for you, not from you. Therefore, if you are struggling or wanting to grow in any areas, small group is the best place to process! Here are helpful ways to discuss the questions.

Questions:

Worship

Do you attend worship every Sunday you're in town? If the answer is no, why not? What do you need to change in your life to make this happen?
Do you use Vista's rule of life or spend regular time connecting with God? What habits or patterns could you adjust to make this a regular part of your daily routine?

Connect

Are you in a small group? You're obviously in a small group so yay to this questions! But here are your special small group check-in specific questions:
How are we doing gathering? Do you show up to small group every week you're in town?
How are we doing paying attention to God? Are we growing together? Are we praying together?
How are we doing telling the truth? Are we practicing confession/accountability regularly?
How are we doing serving? Are we meeting each other's needs? Do we have a serve coordinator to help us meet needs in our community as a group?

Give

Do you regularly give to the church? What practical changes could you make in your financial decisions to make giving to the church more regular, joyful and sacrificial?
